Next week, my son will be getting his wings. Yes. He will be a fully-licensed private pilot. At 17. He has accomplished this through the Royal Canadian Air Cadet program and has been working very, very hard all summer to make sure he passed all the exams and got all his hours completed. He flies Cessna 172 Skyhawks.
So when I saw the current Time Out Challenge inspiration card from Guest Julia Altermann, I was inspired to make a card for him. Julia's card is fun and full of life - I made mine a little more masculine.
I was inspired by Julia's:
-colours (red, yellow and blue)
-plane theme
-square card
-blue stripes (I have only one)
I used Taylored Expressions Plane Awesome and Copic Markers.
Ahhh..this is so perfect for your son! Absolutely love it and what an incredible accomplishment. Thanks so much for playing with us at Time Out!
